Album: Version 1

Second sample of CMS data. This shot includes several cars that have no Track data entered, meaning they're not on the visible portion of the layout. As you can see by cars such as PLMX 35600, which is off-layout, I've pre-populated other fields for local cars. This particular car always serves Tanner in Council Bluffs (Station ID = COUBLUF), and their spur only holds a single car, so Seq (the car's order on the track) would always be 1. When it eventually makes its way onto the layout and is spotted, all that has to be done to show that it's ready to be pulled again is to fill in the Track field, causing it to show up on the CBSW Yard Report. The empty will then be routed back to IHB at Blue Island (Chicago).
